Credit check

[Dan2210]

I just tried to buy AirPods via pay monthly and put the delivery address to where I’m staying at the moment. I’m not living here, just staying here due to COVID. My order was declined because the credit check failed - address’ didn’t match (I’m assuming that’s why). Will this credit check affect my credit score?

According to Ocean finance, no it won't. However, if you apply again and are refused for a 2nd or 3rd time, then yes it will.

@Dan2210 O2 will not deliver anything other than to the address the account is registered to.
